As I'm typing this my dog is barking like a mad man right outside my window so I can't really concentrate. Although, this doesn't require lots of concentration, I get distracted easily. Oh, and I would like to say that I saw a bumblebee buzzing around today. Oh Spring time, how I love thee! You're so close I can almost taste you!! Such wishful thinking! Anywho, these lemon bars are pretttyyyy tasty! Although make sure you put the zest in when it calls for it! For some reason, the lemons I used for this would not zest, and that definitely plays a huge part in the taste of these.
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter - slightly softened
1 cup brown sugar - lightly packed
1 cup oats
